Gruenhagen: ‘Perverted’ men made abortion legal

By Eric W. Dolan

Minnesota state Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen (R) compared the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized access abortion, to the court's ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford, which said former slaves could not become U.S. citizens.

"Ladies, the Supreme Court made this ruling," Gruenhagen said on House floor in reference to Roe v. Wade. "They're not infallible. If you remember right, the Supreme Court made a 7-2 ruling on slavery, with Dred Scott, in fact he was part of Minnesota here."

The Minnesota House passed legislation that would prevent taxpayer money from paying for abortions for low-income women on state-funded medical programs. The bill was passed by a 80 to 44 vote Friday.

"Let me just remind you, especially ladies, it was seven men that made abortion legal," he continued. "Not seven women. Now what’s the significance of that? Men, a certain percentage, have developed a perverted view of women and what abortion tells men is they can use women and lose them."

Amendment, (and later male majorities in statehouses) giving American women the right to vote in all elections.

What's his point? Sometimes men have come through in the advocacy of universal suffrage.

;-)

What a creep. Crappy bill, too.

as we've seen lately. I love how he points out that it is men that made the decision. What a fuckwit. He uses this fact to rail AGAINST abortion. Shameless. This is the first time I heard that "men decided" stuff on the fundie side, though. Points for creativity?

we'll just take it away so you don't have to worry your pretty little heads about it."

The significance? Women do not have equal representation nor equal health coverage but there are still some very intelligent men who know that womens' bodies are womens' business.

Gruenhagen will never be an intelligent male. But one can surely guess just what perverted view HE embraces.

I predict the three women on the court will dissent.
